Sentidos e indicios de vida de las prácticas religiosas urbanas de las mujeres laicas. Estudio de casos: parroquia santa maría de la paz y parroquia San Nicolás de Bari pastoral urbana, 2011-2012.

La investigación enfoca los sentidos e indicios de vida de las prácticas religiosas de las mujeres que asisten a dos parroquias de la ciudad: Santa María de la Paz, ubicada en los barrios del noroeste, y San Nicolás de Bari, emplazada en la zona periférica noreste de la Ciudad de Córdoba. A modo de hipótesis se plantea la emergencia de nuevos modos de vinculación y de pertenencia a la institución parroquial de los actores sociales laicos que concurren a las mismas, mayoritariamente mujeres con niveles de instrucción medio, que presumible-mente han modificado sus modos de vivir la fe y de practicar la religión a partir de las condiciones de transformación de la cultura urbana experimentada en la Ciudad en los últimos 20 años y que dan origen, a su vez, a nuevos sentidos de la religiosidad urbana y de la construcción de las subjetividades femeninas a partir de las nuevas referencias urbanas e identitarias. El objetivo principal pretende desarrollar un trabajo interdisciplinario de análisis e interpretación de los sentidos de las prácticas de espiritualidad de los crono-topos urbanos de los laicos, particularmente de las mujeres, que asisten a estas parroquias. Se espera obtener un exhaustivo conocimiento de la realidad urbana religiosa-cultural y de las prácticas espirituales de estas dos parroquias. La realización del proyecto de investigación supone un abordaje interdisciplinario bajo una metodología hermenéutica-cualitativa que implica dos momentos: empírico (sociológico: estudio de caso)y crítico hermenéutico (teológico y filosófico).

Diversidade e abundância sazonal da avifauna em duas planícies de maré no estuário da baía da Babitonga, norte de Santa Catarina

Informações sobre a ocorrência de aves nos ambientes estuarinos de Santa Catarina ainda são escassas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi registrar a diversidade, abundância e variação sazonal das aves em duas planícies de maré na baía da Babitonga. As amostragens foram realizadas durante um ano (maio de 2006 a abril 2007). No total foram identificadas 25 espécies, sendo 15 no Linguado (LG) e 24 na desembocadura do Monte de Trigo (MT). Apenas uma espécie foi exclusiva no LG Himantopus melanurus (Vieillot, 1817), enquanto dez espécies ocorreram apenas no MT. O número de espécies em MT foi superior ao encontrado em LG. A espécie mais abundante em MT foi Rynchops niger (Linnaeus, 1758) e em LG foi Egretta caerulea (Linnaeus, 1758). Durante alguns meses foram registradas espécies migratórias neárticas em ambas as áreas, o que representou um acréscimo na diversidade. A extensa planície de maré formada pelo fechamento do canal do Linguado tem sido muito ocupada por aves, possivelmente pela maior disponibilidade de alimento.

Domiciliation Trend of Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus in Colombia

The present paper presents evidence of the domiciliation of Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus in La Gardenia, Colombia through the collection of 2 unhatched eggs, 81 nymphs and 10 adults (4 males and 6 females), from 2 rural houses. The transmission risk indicators of Trypanosoma cruzi by P. rufotuberculatus in La Gardenia, were: domiciliary infestation 7.5%, density 2.35, colonization 66.6%, overcrowding 31.33, natural infection 4.6%, and relative infection 2.5%. These results and findings in Peru and Argentina, show that P. rufotuberculatus has a potential success in domiciliation and could some day become an alternate vector of American trypanosomiasis.

Presence of American cutaneous leishmaniasis vectors surrounding the city of Medellín, Colombia

The presence of Lutzomyia (Helcocyrtomyia) hartmanni, as a vector of Leishmania colombiensis and L. columbiana (Verrucarum group), recently incriminated in the transmission of leishmaniasis, and L. pia (Verrucarum group) are reported for the first time in a periurban area of Medellín city. There is thus a risk of leishmaniasis transmission in this town.

Serological detection of St. Louis encephalitis virus and West Nile virus in equines from Santa Fe, Argentina

St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) and West Nile virus (WNV) present ecological and antigenic similarities and are responsible for serious human diseases. In addition, WNV is a significant pathogen in terms of equine health. The purpose of our study was to analyse the seroprevalence of SLEV and WNV in equine sera collected in Santa Fe Province, Argentina. The seroprevalence determined using the plaque reduction neutralisation test was 12.2% for SLEV, 16.2% for WNV and 48.6% for a combination of both viruses. These results provide evidence of the co-circulation of SLEV and WNV in equines in Santa Fe.

Els Barris de Sant Narcís i de Santa Eugènia davant les avingudes del Güell

Les obres d’acondicionament i millora del riu Güell passen per dues fases. La primera, fins al 1971, demostren que el problema no estava ni de bon tros solucionat, més fruit de la improvisació i poca lògica de l’Administració que d'una bona política de planificació hidràulica. Les obres mes recents, (transvasament Güell-Marroc.Massanas-Ter), aparentment solucionen el problema. Però cal insistir un cop més; d'ençà el 1970 i fins avui dia, el riu Güell no ha sofert cap més avinguda important, si bé és cert que Girona no n'ha patit cap d’aquelles dimensions. Com passa en la majoria dels casos, el risc d'avingudes és un fantasma que ve de la mateixa manera que se'n va, que dura l’escàs període de l'avinguda i els dies-mesos que segueixen

Proceso de enfermería: ¿qué significa para las enfermeras de Santa Cruz (Bolivia)?

Las enfermeras bolivianas no han incorporado definitivamente el método científico y las taxonomías a los cuidados. Este estudio cualitativo pretende comprender el significado atribuido al proceso de enfermería por docentes y profesionales del Departamento de Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia). Recolección de datos mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas y observación participante. Análisis bajo el marco teórico y metodológico del Interaccionismo Simbólico y la Teoría Fundamentada, usando el software ATLAS.ti.6.0. De los datos emergieron los siguientes temas: dificultades de implantación del proceso de enfermería; déficit de formación e iniciativa profesional; posición de dominio del médico; carencia de registros; escaso apoyo institucional. Ventajas de implementación: unificar criterios, lenguaje y facilitar el rol propio de enfermería. Se concluye en que las enfermeras depositan sus expectativas profesionales y de mejora de los cuidados en la implementación del Proceso de Enfermería y los Planes de Cuidados, un giro cultural que involucra a docentes, auxiliares y gestores.

Synanthropy and ecological aspects of Muscidae (Diptera) in a tropical dry forest ecosystem in Colombia

The synanthropic index and other ecological aspects of the Muscidae family were evaluated through simultaneous monthly sampling in three different environments (urban, rural and forest) using van Someren-Rydon traps baited with human faeces, chicken viscera and decomposing fish and onion. Four traps were set up in each environment (one per bait item) for 48 hours per month, with samples taken every 12 hours. A total of 5726 specimens were collected, belonging to 19 species and 13 genera. Brontaea normata (+99,9), Brontaea quadristigma (+96,9), Synthesiomyia nudiseta (+96,5), Ophyra aenescens (+96,2), Musca domestica (+95,7) and Atherigona orientalis (+93,8) had the highest synanthropic indices, showing a marked preference for human environments. The most abundant species were B. normata (24,31%), Biopyrellia bipuncta (20,60%) and Pseudoptilolepis nigripoda (15,82%), the latter two showed a preference for uninhabited areas. A total of 11 new records for Colombia were found: Ophyra aenescens, Cyrtoneuropsis pararescita, Morellia basalis, Neomuscina dorsipuncta, Biopyrellia bipuncta, Pseudoptilolepis nigripoda, Neomuscina instabilis, Neomuscina currani, Polietina orbitalis, Neomuscina pictipennis and Cyrtoneuropsis maculipennis. Except for the first four species, the remainder presented negative synantrophy indexes (from minor to major), which would allow to use them as ecological indicators of the disturbance degree of dry forests in Colombia.

A new species of Giovanella Bonatto (Diptera, Calliphoridae, Mesembrinellinae) from Colombia

A new species of Giovanella Bonatto (Diptera, Calliphoridae, Mesembrinellinae) from Colombia. The Mesembrinellinae are exclusively Neotropical, with 33 nominal species distributed in nine genera. Only the genera Mesembrinella, Eumesembrinella, Huascaromusca and Laneella had until now been recorded in Colombia. In this work we present a new species of Giovanella Bonatto, 2005, genus with only one species, G. bolivar Bonatto, differing from the new species G. carvalhoi sp. nov., in the characters: legs entirely dark chestnut; thorax with dorsocentrals setae 1:2; abdomen with T5 with discal bristles poorly differentiated; T6 symmetric and paraphallus not extended and with denticules. Giovanella carvalhoi sp. nov. is from Cordillera Oriental, from the Departments of Caquetá (Amazonian foothills) and Santander, Colombia, collected between 22002400 m., and associated with decomposing organic matter. A key for the identification of males and females of the two species of Giovanella, illustrations of the genitalia and photographs of male and female of new species are also presented.

Review of Thompsoniella Guimarães with description of a new species from Colombia (Diptera, Calliphoridae, Mesembrinellinae)

Review of Thompsoniella Guimarães with description of a new species from Colombia (Diptera, Calliphoridae, Mesembrinellinae). The Mesembrinellinae (Diptera, Calliphoridae) are exclusively Neotropical with nine genera comprising 36 recognized species, including the genus Thompsoniella Guimarães with a single species, T. anomala Guimarães. We describe a new species, Thompsoniella andina sp. nov., from the Departments of Antioquia and Caldas, Colombia (Cordillera Central of the Andes, between 2600 - 2700 m) and redescribe T. anomala. A key to the nine genera of Mesembrinellinae and a key to the males of the two species of Thompsoniella are provided. Color photographs to illustrate the two species of Thompsoniella and drawings of the male genitalia of both species are also provided. Here we record Thompsoniella for the first time in Colombia.

Preliminary study of insects associated to indoor body decay in Colombia

Preliminary study of insects associated to indoor body decay in Colombia. This is the first report studying insects associated to indoor body decay process of a white pig (Sus scrofa) (Artiodactyla, Suidae) in a controlled indoor environment in an urban area of Florencia city, Amazonia Piedmont, Colombia. For a period of 54 days, 9,220 individuals (immature and adults), distributed in 3 orders, 5 families, 10 genera, and 10 species were collected using entomological nets and tweezers. Five decaying stages are described (fresh, bloated, active decay, advanced decay and remains). During the fresh stage we recorded Cochliomyia macellaria (Fabricius, 1775), Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann, 1819), Ophyra aenescens (Wiedemann, 1830), Oxysarcodexia sp., Lepidodexia sp. and Lasiophanes sp.; during the bloating stage C. macellaria, C. albiceps, Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann, 1819), Hemilucillia semidiaphana (Rondani, 1850), Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758, O. aenescens, Oxysarcodexia sp., Lepidodexia sp., Dermestes maculatus De Geer, 1774 and Lasiphanes sp.; during the active decay C. macellaria, C. albiceps, L. eximia, M. domestica, O. aenescens, Lepidodexia sp. D. maculatus and Lasiophanes sp.; during the advanced decay C. macellaria, C. albiceps, M. domestica, Lepidodexia sp. and Lasiophanes sp.; and during the remains stage C. albiceps, D. maculatus and Lasiophanes sp. The insects were sorted out in 3 ecological categories; necrophagous, predators and parasites and sarco-saprophagous. According to Chao and Jack estimators, total richness was observed on day 20, with 100% of the expected species.

Provenance and family variation of Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis from Guatemala and Honduras, grown in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela

Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis (Sénécl) Barr. & Golf. is a tropical pine that naturally occurs in lowland areas of Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and eastern Mexico. It has been one of the most studied tropical pines and the one with the most commercial importance in Brazil. The objective of this work was to select the best provenances for plantations and best trees in families for the establishment of seed orchards. For that a trial with five provenances and 47 open-pollinated families was planted near Planaltina, Federal District, in the Cerrado Region of Brazil. The provenances tested were Poptun (Guatemala), Gualjoco, Los Limones, El Porvenir and Santa Cruz de Yojoa (Honduras) and assessed at 12 years of age. Poptun and Gualjoco had larger volume, and Los Limones and El Porvenir the lowest incidence of forks and foxtails. Individual tree heritabilities for volume, stem form and branch diameter were 0.34, 0.06, and 0.26 respectively. More than 90% of the trees had defects, common in unimproved P. caribaea. Selection criteria for quality traits need to be relaxed in the first generation of breeding to allow for larger genetic gains in productivity. Results from this test compared with P. caribaea var. hondurensis trials in other Brazilian, Colombian and Venezuelan sites suggest that provenance x site and family x site interactions are not as strong as in other pine species.

La Necròpolis protohistòrica de Santa Madrona (Riba-roja d'Ebre, Ribera d'Ebre)

Aquesta publicació recull de forma monogràfica els resultats dels treballs d’excavació duts a terme a la necròpolis protohistòrica de Santa Madrona (Riba-roja, Ribera d’Ebre). Els autors són Maria Carme Belarte Franco (investigadora ICREA adscrita a l’ICAC) i Jaume Noguera Guillén (investigador de l’ICAC a través del programa Beatriu de Pinós i professor associat de la UB), i també hi han col·laborat Marta Miñarro, Núria Morell, Pau Olmos i Àlex Ros. Núria Rafel, professora de Prehistòria dela Universitat de Lleida, és l’autora del pròleg. La necròpolis protohistòrica de Santa Madrona es va excavar entre el 2003 i el 2004, fruit d’una col·laboració entre la Universitat de Barcelona i l’Institut Català d’Arqueologia Clàssica, amb finançament de la Generalitat de Catalunya, el Centre d’Estudis de la Ribera d’Ebre, el Consell Comarcal de la Ribera d’Ebre i l’Ajuntament de Riba-roja d’Ebre. Les excavacions van documentar una vintena d’enterraments d’incineració en urnes de la primera edat del ferro (segles VIII-VII aC), coberts per un nivell que contenia abundant material ceràmic datable dins el segle III aC, tal vegada corresponents a una necròpolis ibèrica arrasada. Al llibre es presenta la descripció i interpretació del conjunt d’estructures i materials, i també inclou l’estudi paleontropològic de les restes a càrrec de Thaïs Fadrique i Assumpció Malgosa (UAB) i l’estudi arqueobotànic, a càrrec deDaniel López (ROCS).

Oribatid mites and springtails from a coffee plantation in Sierra Sur, Oaxaca, Mexico

The objective of this work was to compare the oribatid mite and springtail communities in three plots with different soil use - Coffee (CP), secondary vegetation or fallow fields (acahual, A) and a cloud mountain forest (CMF) - within a coffee plantation located in Santa Maria Huatulco, Oaxaca State, Mexico. In each plot 20 samples (10 of soil, 10 of litter) were taken and processed in Berlese funnels. The extracted fauna was preserved in 70% ethanol. A total of 3,031 oribatid mites belonging to 33 species, and 1,177 specimens of springtails belonging to 43 species, were collected. The number of species recorded was: 27 at CP (14 oribatids; 13 springtails), 44 at A (19 oribatids; 25 springtails) and 62 at CMF (32 for each group). A total of 26 oribatid and 27 springtail species was found in the soil, and 25 oribatid and 32 springtail species were found in the litter. The most abundant species were the oribatids Rostroztes foveolatus (Haplozetidae), Tectocepheus sp. (Tecocepheidae), Karenella sp. (Oppidae), Atropacarus (Hoplophorella) cf. fonseciai (Phthiracaridae), Epilohmannia pallida americana (Epilohmannidae), and the springtails Ceratophysella cf. gibbosa (Hypogastruridae), Mesaphorura sp. (Tullbergidae) and Proisotoma cf. minuta (Isotomidae). Fourteen families and 18 species of Oribatida species and 5 families and 34 species of Collembola were recorded for the first time for the State.

Independencia y educación. Reflexiones en torno al Bicentenario

[spa]El trabajo que presentamos plantea una visión de la educación tras la llamada sublevación de los Pasquines que aparecieron en la ciudad de Santa Fe de Bogotá en 1794. En el artículoanalizamos las propuestas quese ofrecieron por parte de lasautoridades coloniales para hacer frentea los problemasque afectaron al virreinato.Una de las soluciones propuestas para acabar con las opiniones adversas a la corona y al colonialismo pasaba por cambiar los sistemas educativos. Se pretendía volver al sistema anterior a la ilustración y a los nuevos filósofos ya que se temía que en España pasara lo que había sucedido en Francia. La Nueva Filosofía acabó cuestionando los derechos de la monarquía y el descontento social acabó con la vida del monarca y la proclamación de la república. Estas ideas pasaron a las colonias españolas donde algunos ilustrados comenzaban a pensar en repúblicas, poco definidas, cuestionando el orden monárquico. Para evitar el conflicto desde el arzobispado, y la Audiencia se propone acabar con los estudios de la Nueva Filosofía, cerrar las imprentas y la Biblioteca; así mismo, se propone intervenir en el catecismo de la doctrina para introducir preguntas y respuestas que refuercen el papel dela corona y la fidelidad de los súbditos. Este sistema de fidelización de súbditos será empleado posteriormente por las recientes repúblicas para incrementar el patriotismo entre los nuevos ciudadanos.
